Squash: Squash match simulator

Description Usage Author(s)

Description

A package to simulate and visualize Squash matches. At this point, a very simple probability model is used for this purpose. In particular, a Squash match consists of two players, for which the winning odds of one player over the other are specified. Then, a match is simulated point by point, and for each point, the winner is decided by sampling from a binomial distribution with probability weights specified by the odds. In addition, it is possible to set a so-called momentum shift, which increases the odds in favor of the player that just has won a game.

All functionality is provided in a GUI implemented as a shiny application where parameters are easily set. The resulting match score in particular is provided both as a score table and graphs showing the process of each game.
